Lowering Limit Without Modifying Arches

[Justin BBP]

As the title suggests, what's the lowest I can go without modifying the arches if I fitted 8x15 alloys?

What offset? I doubt you'll need the arches modifying if you have a little stretch and camber.

I looking a making a 172 PH2 version of LJColeman's PH1 5dr, but with black or matt grey. So they would be ET30 with 20mm spacer on the rear and a 15mm spacer on the front.

Looking at the pics mate I bet all he can carry in that thing is a 6 pack of quavers and 2 litre bottle of coke before it scrapes, anything over 1 turn left or right it must scrub like a hoor, gona need to roll the rear arches to pull off anything like that.

I personally think that 20mm spacers on the rear is excessive and too much. Et30 will sit perfectly in the arches and require no arch work if using the same tyre and camber as him. Also depends how soft your rear suspension is? I've had to use bigger bumpstops to stop mine from making arch contact.

So 8x15's with no spacer?

What about ride height?

ekaJ, you running 182 factory alloys?

Swede cup, the most I would be carrying is 3 people and 3 snooker cue cases lol

I've decided I'm going for the a similar look to ekaJ but with 8x15's instead after seen the latest picture of his
